Bob Hi Bob, Yes, the outside mold spore count does impact one's health. The difference between outside and inside though in most cases, is that outside the air is freely circulating. Inside, the air capacity space is more limited. This means that if there is an abnormally high mold spore count indoors, the potential to inhale amounts that can produce serious illness is much greater. As most people on this board will attest, once you have been made ill from excessive exposure to indoor molds, when the mold spore count is high in your area of the country, it will effect your health. This is because you have now become hypersensitive to mold exposure and your body reacts with minimal provocation. Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
